must unravel a string of murders she believes are vampire attacks. When she

BLURB
Owen Todd
Jordan Riley has a secret. He’s a shape shifter who has been hunting and
killing his own kind. To him the only good shifter is a dead shifter. Revenge
for the death of a friend motivates him, and nothing stands in his way . . .
except Katrina Romanovski, the woman he is falling in love with.
Deputy
coroner Katrina Romanovski has a secret, too. She hunts and kills paranormal
beings like Owen. At least she did. When she rescues Owen from an attack by a
werebear she is thrust back into the world she thought she’d left. Determined
to find out what Owen knows about the bear, she begins a relationship meant to
collect information. What she gets is something quite different-love with a man
she suspects of murder. Can she reconcile his deception and murderous revenge
spree and find a way to redeem him? Or will she condemn him for the same things
she has done and walk away from love?
Excerpt:
A crash in the alley stopped
Katrina Romanovski mid-stride. Like the October mist swirling in off the lake,
her gypsy blood stirred sending her intuition into high gear. Something
unnatural was happening.
Go see what’s wrong. She heard her father’s voice as
clearly as if he stood next to her.
On the heels of his words came her
mother’s pragmatic warning in clipped British tones. You know what curiosity
killed. Katrina pushed the ever-present warning aside. Mom never approved of
Dad’s supernatural hunts and even less of his drawing her into them.
Pulling the oversized cross she
always wore out from under her shirt, Kat looked around for a weapon. Please,
not a vampire. I hate vampires! A piece of wood sticking out of the trashcan
at the front of the alley caught her eye.
Grabbing it, she broke the end off
into a sharp point. The mist-filled air filtered the light from the single bulb
over one of the alley doorways. The wind swirled the loose trash around making
a quiet approach difficult. Sidestepping the paper, with the stake in one hand
and holding the gun she took from her purse in the other hand, she crept into
the alley.
A roar echoed against the
buildings, the sound nearly sending her running. That roar wasn’t a vampire. It
sounded more like an animal. Kat inched closer. In the yellow pool of light
from the back door of the building, a black bear, over seven feet tall, reared
on its back legs and swung its paw at the man standing at the edge of the
light. He crashed to the ground, shirt torn open from the slashing claws. Blood
covered the fabric, and he clasped his left hand over his shoulder to stem the
flow. The bear bent toward him, teeth bared in a smile. A wicked smile.
Kat aimed her gun, but before she
could pull the trigger, a shot rang out. The flash of gunpowder lit the face of
the injured man. The blast reverberated against the buildings. With an enraged
bellow, the bear staggered backward against the wall. Shaking his head, the
animal dropped to all four paws. Weaving like a drunk, he lumbered toward his
attacker. The man took aim again, shooting the animal between the eyes. Animal
and human collapsed on the dirty, littered pavement.
As she started to move forward,
Kat’s gypsy senses crawled over her skin like angry red ants. As she slipped
back into the shadows, the bear shed fur. Changing size. Then, finally, turning
into a man.
Shape shifters. Her stake wasn’t any good
against them, and her bullets weren’t silver. This one appeared dead anyway.
Had the wounded man seen the shift? Tossing the stake aside, she paused by the
shifter and quickly moved to the wounded man. Out cold. Still human.
When she touched him, his eyelids
fluttered open. “Did I get it?”
“What?”
“The bear.”

and wife, Catherine and Donald believe in true love and happily ever after.
Together
they have co-authored a number of dramas, six which have been produced in Ohio,
where they live. Their interactive Christmas production had five
seasonal runs in their hometown and has been sold in Virginia, California, and
Ohio. Their most recent collaborative writing efforts have been focused on
romance. The first two books of their paranormal romance series entitled The Turning Stone Chronicles are available on
Amazon. The third book in the series Son
of the Moonless Night is to be released mid-May by Soul Mate Publishing.
